Think I went past mad some years back. This is insane. I'm trying to work out how I can avoid them place mats when using the Isis - 27kg(?) Isis not 100% stable, sitting on a RDC cones, RDC bases on a glass Mana reference top on a Mana rack, on Mana Soundstages Any one else would be a lunatic  |

I can now reveal that the Electric Beach S1NX isolation support shelf is a really excellent piece of kit at a very reasonable price. Would it be too vulgar to ask how reasonable the price was?? |

Steve (Electric Beach) would prefer to quote as each support is an individual bespoke size. However, a little north of £100 is a fair indication.

I've been rationalising my Raspberry Pi setup, details here.
Meanwhile, you may have thought that I've finished with footers? But no, another likely contender has turned up so I feel compelled to try them out. The wonderfully named Ecstasy Prop feet from you-know-where, with removable springs to 'dial-in' the loading, will be winging their way hereabouts soon. Stay tuned for the full story!

They'll put a 'spring' in your step.

It's that prop for my Ecstasy that does it for me
I have longed for an Ecstasy prop - and I didn't know there was one
Hope the instructions are in the very best Chinglish

>We can increase or decrease the number of springs to adjust the sound, very interesting!

It seemed a little unfair that the turntable and SACD player have been getting all the attention of late. I was listening to a few tracks on Spotify today and appreciating just how good the Raspberry Pi is sounding, so out came the old butcher's block, some RDC5 Cones and now it has a nice isolated platform all to itself. It sounds better than ever!

You are really going to have to find something a little more svelte than that Flux Dumper Martin!

It does the job - that Pi isn't going anywhere!

Hi Matin
Have you tried the PI with a propery PSU?

What's a 'propery' PSU, Sov? If you mean a linear PSU, yes I've run it from my Paul Hynes 5V supply. As with the Caiman-II, I feel that it sounds better from the battery and I'm happy that I've landed a good one (providing both 5V and 12V outputs).

Sorry mate, a wee typo there. Thanks for the answer. This is a route I would love to take but I feel I would need a clever chap like John to sync it up because I can't see my self being able to do it optimally.

You got a pretty nice sounding PC set up James. What might benefit your set up is a special mains supply for the MAC. I was reading that this can make a big difference on the MAC.
Martin is far more knowledgeable around computers than me.
